Mango Mousse
Mango Mousse
I have been patiently waiting for this time of the year that one of my favourite fruits has finally arrived! It’s mango season. I love the fragrance of ripen mango and its juicy sweet texture. Fortunately enough here in Australia, we have a variety of mangoes from local farms to choose from. I normally make mango with sweet sticky, however this time I'd to take a different route and try something new. Make it simple and more fun! So, mango mousse dessert it is then.
Ingredients
2 large mangoes
2 tbsp sugar powder
20 g vegetable gelatin powder
300 ml warm water or more
400 ml thickened cream
1 packet biscuit
A pinch of salt
How to make
Start by preparing the mangoes. Peel the mangoes, remove the seed, and chop the flesh into small pieces.
In a blender, puree the mangoes until smooth. Add 2 tbsp sugar powder and a pinch of salt to the puree and blend until well combined.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the vegetable gelatin powder in 300 ml of warm water. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
Pour the mango puree into a large mixing bowl. Add the dissolved gelatin mixture and stir until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the thickened cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture.
Crush the biscuits and place them in the bottom of the container you will be using to serve the mousse.
Pour the mango mousse mixture over the crushed biscuits.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the mousse is set and firm.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
